    Innocent until proven guitly. Without that, we can not claim to be a free country.

      Agreed, but I’m not a juror, so I can express my opinion. But what’s your excuse gonna be if he confesses?

        A confession of guilt is still innocent until proven guilty. Im not sure what point you are trying to make.

          You know what point I am making. And ya know he did it, you just want him to get away with it. So just admit that. Don’t dance around and pretend that you have other reasoning.

          Either way, I guess we are gonna find out what a jury thinks.

            I dont know the guy, and i dont know if hes guilty or not. i could not care less if he is guilty or not.

            What I care about is the rule of law. The rules exist to protect citizens from both criminals and the police. The rules must be followed.

              Sure, the rules must be followed. Which means not walking up behind a guy and murdering him just because he’s a health exec ya don’t like. Luigi deserves to spend rest of his life in prison.

                You are totally missing the point, still. The man, everyman, is innocent until proven guilty. How do you not understand that?
